Anti-Defamation League Offers To Educate Sean Spicer On Holocaust

"I shouldn't have done it and I won't do it again", Spicer told CNN in an interview.

Spicer claimed during a press conference that Adolf Hitler didn't sink to the level of Syrian tyrant Bashar Assad and use chemical gas to kill to his own people.

Cramer was commenting on Spicer after a Tuesday comparison of the two leaders, during which Spicer made reference to Hitler to emphasize the atrocities of al-Assad's regime. Spicer responded: "He brought them into the Holocaust centers - I understand that".

Later asked to explain, Spicer said he meant to say that Hitler had not used chemical weapons in battlefield situations as Assad did last week.

On Tuesday, Spicer said Syria's chemical weapons attack on civilians was worse than anything Hitler did.

Spicer's comments drew a sharp rebuke from both US Jewish groups and politicians, including calls for his resignation from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and the New York-based Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect.

"What did the Nazis use to exterminate millions of Jews if not chemicals in their death camps?"
